%X A 58-year-old (para 2, living 2, abortion 0), overweight (BMI: 25 kg/m2), post-hysterectomy patient reported with wound dehiscence on day seven. She was a known case of hypertension and type 2 diabetes for the last five years. She presented with symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding due to leiomyoma. The leiomyoma was refractory to medical management and thus she underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy. She underwent the procedure well after preoperative intensive diabetes and hypertension management. She was managed postoperatively with injectable antibiotics. On day seven postoperatively, the patient started experiencing wound discharge, after which she was treated with broad spectrum higher antibiotics and regular wound dressing with debridement of necrotic debris twice daily for five days. She was planned for alternative therapy in the form of rejuvenation therapy by platelet-rich plasma therapy, which thus helped further shorten her hospital stay and helped the wound to heal better.
